I merged the 30083 rev, without the modifications to the iphonesim line in
fpmkunit (I didn't know if that was accident or not).

The executeprocess fixes from 30405 shouldn't be needed in 3.0.x since
executeprocess(unicodestring) was not merged back to 3.0.x:

Maybe you meant r35193 should be unmerged?

I merged passrc,fpdoc,fcl-web,js,json with only three exceptions, the first
because I don't know 3.0.x amiga status, the second because I don't know
pastojs status, and the third because it uses a 3.1.1 only feature (passing
class xxx static methods to plain procedure procvars)

Lacak already had a bunch of db revs ready, fcl-base has a few fixes to
customapp too, and I have to do the big search for misc stuff. Usually there
are some windows header fixes too.

Just a linux i386 version (where the problem is acute) or all platforms ?


I assume it touches all ELF targets, so FreeBSD should go too.

I think it is best to take a few weeks to merge whatever else can be useful
for 3.0.4 (and I'm open to suggestions) and then just release a normal 3.0.4


I think probably a lot of package fixes can be merged. 
Especially fcl-passrc related, there have been a large amount of bugfixes

recently.

Maybe some RTL related fixes as well, although here I would be very careful.

I think it is best to take a few weeks to merge whatever else can be useful
for 3.0.4 (and I'm open to suggestions) and then just release a normal 3.0.4

If some target maintainers don't want to participate that is ok.

personally speaking, i would do them all to maintain version consistency 
everywhere...

my two cents:

1) Why not call it 3.0.4?
2) arm-nds and arm gba do not build with 3.0.2: Apply the patches from issue 
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30405 and 
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26847
